Cool Hunting
Texas-based artist Donna Huanca’s show “Philosophy of the World” is opening at the Susan Inglett Gallery this Thursday, 22 March 2007 at 7:30pm with a wild performance. Huanca, referencing the feeling of The Shaggs Philosophy of the World, aka "the worst record ever made in the history of music,” will be performing music as she has imagined it will be in the future. Accompanying her will be Dorothy “Dot” Wiggins of the Shaggs and Leon Theremin, the creator of the Theremin and a pioneer in electronic music. Together, they will be playing ambient music using reel to reel tapes, a sampler, a four-track drum machine and a beautiful alpacan Bolivian drone drum. To top it all off Huanca will have neon-colored puppets tied to her which will move as she moves and performs.
During regular gallery hours, the puppets will be integrated into a large installation that includes some drawings, large fabric pieces and a soundtrack made Huanca made using her sewing machine as an instrument. Huanca says, “the kids love it.”

The nine artists represented take a largely conceptual approach using a diverse collection...
by Ariston AndersonThe beauty of a Ryan McGinness show is not only that passing through the gallery doors is entering into the world of McGinness, but that each painting fully consumes your attention once you start looking. Like their name implies, each multi-layered screenprinted work from the Black Hole series has the remarkable ability to suck viewers in. Similar to a Jackson Pollack or a...
Stacey Steers' animated film "Phantom Canyon" was created from over four thousand handmade collages incorporating the images from Eadweard Muybridge's famous series of photographs from 1887 called "Human and Animal Locomotion." In this film, which is intended to mirror how we all find meaning in our experiences, a curious woman goes on a surrealistic journey with an alluring bat-winged man. The process used to...
Artist, athlete, and activist Vanessa Chakour's abstract artwork is a vivid display of her stream of consciousness on canvas. With bold colors and shapes, her curious pieces are harmonious but come about through the chaotic interaction of an evolving sense of self and artistic expression. Her first one-woman exhibition entitled "Innerscapes" opens tonight at the Ambrosia Gallery in New Rochelle, NY. Innerscapes Opening reception:...
We're always fascinated when the surreal and the practical intersect.

Opening at Eyebeam next week in Manhattan the exhibit is promises a myriad of creative curiosities. With 15 artists on display, this season's offerings include a a photocopier that reads...
by Ariston Anderson The petite Pratt graduate, Swoon, has quickly climbed through the ranks of street art, raising the bar by using art as politics. A mainstay at the likes of Deitch, MoMA and the Brooklyn Museum of Art, her latest project might be her biggest yet. With the backing of Deitch, Swoon recently launched "Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea," a two-part exhibit merging...
